Psalm 51:15: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will
deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Cindy, Cricket’s mother, was slipping away, sleeping,
waking, and her breathing was weak and much labored. I
silently asked, “How can I help?” In my mind God spoke,
“Be there for Cindy and Cricket.”
In my mind I replied, “I am here. What must I do to help?”
Softly, but firmly I heard, “Listen.”
I grasped Cindy’s hand. She looked up at me and speaking
softly she said, “Hi Charge,” my nickname. I replied, “Hi
Cindy,” and in my heart I spoke to the Lord. “Thank you,
Thank you.”
Psalm 50; Genesis 39:1-23; 1 Corinthians 2:14-3:15;
Mark 2:1-12
